A shakeout through Chinatown and its stretch of the marathon course, with a 1.2-mile walk along the route or a three-mile run at paces from 10:30 to 13:30 per mile. Doors open at 9:30 AM and the group sets off at 9:45 AM, with Julie Justinson of sweaty ponytales and Bonnie Fong, Board Chair Emerita of the Chinese American Service League, among the special guests. Back at the library, branch manager Stuart Griner gives a short talk on the branch's history, alongside running and Chicago books, library card sign-ups and complimentary Propel and Chargel products. Family Style RC founder Sany Nguyen then leads an optional group trip to the marathon expo.
